      No.

      The Cairns fare I was watching at $137 each way is now $137 and $0

      • Bargainbeth on 30/04/2019 - 17:24

        It's good they don't price Jack but it does seem like tickets go up and down during the day/weeks. Bought a ticket recently for 690, it went up about 60 during the course of two hours.

        Immediately after I bought my tickets, I went back to peek, oddly, price went down to 640 again. Then again this was multi trip on skyscanner, albeit with same the same airlines (jetstar, scoot)

        Jetstar luggage prices do fluctuate though, not sure if it applies online. But have called them as online system was doin me a bamboozle. It was as if I called a betting site.

        • Ulysses31 on 05/05/2019 - 10:09

          That's a known thing. Particularly with accommodation. With that, cookies/history tracking are also screwing us.

          People are more inclined to pay more/less on certain days/times.

          IE: Those thoughts of "Stuff this place, I'm booking a holiday" on Monday morning.

          • Bargainbeth on 05/05/2019 - 12:02

            @Ulysses31: Yeah, I guess they don't need to price Jack for sales if they're doing it for every other reason haha.

            I read a FAQ thing on Scotty's cheap flights and he said clearing cookies doesn't make one shred of difference- perhaps they've found ways to track outside of that too. I've used ddg browser and cleared cookies, prices were still the same. Though, granted I only fiddled around for an hour.

        due to the passport system going down i wasn't able to get onto the flight , with multiple other people from the same flight told there's nothing that can be done
        options were $4900 flight with Qantas or a $1100 flight with thai airways with a large stopover in Thailand
        no refund on the extras or anything i added to my flight

              @[Deactivated]: There's information missing here and you're telling half the story. There's no way you'd appear 3 hours before your flight, a system being down causes delays (and Jetstar has no idea about the fact that all of their flights are affected/delayed now?) and you miss your flight and no-one refunds you your money or anything else.

              Nothing adds up about that whatsoever.

    The wording for this section is a bit confusing:

    For your return flight, search for flights between 28 June to 31 July (Tokyo Narita and Osaka routes only), 6 October to 20 December 2019 and 7 January to 25 March 2020.

    Does that mean that the $0 return fares for Tokyo Narita and Osaka routes are ONLY available between 28 June to 31 July? Or is that they are available throughout all 3 date ranges, but between 28 June to 31 July is exclusive to Tokyo Narita/Osaka and is not available for other routes?

                @meowmeowmeow: TJ Maxx is possibly similar to Nordstrom Rack then as they have a few more designer brands compared to Ross.

                For those wondering, yes TJ Maxx is the same company as TK Maxx here in Australia just named differently in different parts of the world.

            @melbourne guy: We stay in a condo hence buy all our food from Costco. I bought my first Phillips Sonicare toothbrush set at Costco in HI and it was miles cheaper than here at the time, 8+ years ago now. Gift cards for various restaurants, tourist attractions, movies etc are much cheaper. We also pick up various vitamins, skin care, ointments etc there as it's cheaper than at home and/or iHerb. Swimwear is also cheaper, as is sunscreen, compared to here.

      What do you buy? I just spent 2hrs at Ala Moana shopping centre and found nothing!

      Everything was about 10% more than Aussie prices,then add 30% for US conversion,then add tax, then add a tip.

      Am I missing something?

      • Layze on 30/04/2019 - 15:00

        Go to the outlets and Ross. Better bargains.

        • tunzafun001 on 01/05/2019 - 03:19

          Ok, Ross was better but basically the same as Paul's warehouse at home. All small runs of items, Small defects, Asian sizes etc. But cheers for the tip. I'll have a look in the Wakiki store today.

          I think the Aussie dollar is too far gone for Hawaii. The cost of food and accommodation especially. Then you add tax and tips.

          1 litre of milk or pack of chips is $3.89 US!

          • Layze on 01/05/2019 - 09:38

            @tunzafun001: Yes the dollar is garbage, but it's also the timing of your trip. I've been when it's Labor Day & Black Friday sales - discounts on discounts! Hopefully you find better deals in NYC. Happy shopping & good luck!
            P.s I have never tipped a retail person!

      • carlenet on 30/04/2019 - 15:14

        Steer well clear of Ala Moana. Everything there is priced for the Japanese tourists. Waikele outlets are okay but my go to really is Ross & Costco. Shops in Waikiki, bar Ross, are overpriced too.

      • jk on 30/04/2019 - 18:40

        I hope that as a joke about the prices - no need to tip when you are shopping!

        • tunzafun001 on 01/05/2019 - 03:12

          The store people hover around you in the stores, then when you pay at the counter they ask who "assisted" you. When you scan your card it asks for gratuities for the person who haunted you the whole time. So they do ask for tips at the shops.

          P.S. I used the Citi locator for Citiplus card cash withdrawal. It says to use the target ATM in Alo Moana for no fee…. Charged me $6!

          • Ulysses31 on 05/05/2019 - 10:16

        When you go to the outlets sign up for the premium outlets a few days before you leave (it's valid for 30 days). Then provide the voucher to the outlet and you will get a booklet for more discounts on top of what the store is offering. This applies for any of the premium outlets in USA, not just Waikele

        Also if you're getting anything from Macy's show your Aussie passport at customer service and they will give you a voucher for 10% off

            @tunzafun001: Woodbury Common Outlets outside of NYC is good. Picked up some super cheap North Face stuff there a few years back. I second that re Century 21 but it depends on what you're looking for. Kids stuff is much cheaper at Ross/TJMaxx.

          • dimple on 01/05/2019 - 12:15

            @tunzafun001: https://www.premiumoutlets.com/outlet/woodbury-common

            Check out Woodbury. It is huge and you would need a day to get through the stores. People brought suitcases which I initially thought was crazy but you can buy enough to fill a suitcase

Now this sale has come up and the flights that was gonna be $1121 is now $757! To risk it and wait till 8.30pm when the gift card has balance again… or just buy now and take the $350 savings.

          Win, win. Got on the live chat. They took off the preauth on the gift card. Worked again straight away. What a ripper for it not working last night! Thank you crappy gift card system :)
